A testament to Calgary’s love affair with the blues genre, the PCL Blues series celebrated it’s 25th anniversary during the 2022-23 season. The PCL Blues series has celebrated GRAMMY Award-winning superstars to homegrown favourites and everything in between. Legends like Taj Mahal, James Blood Ulmer, and Calgary’s own Tim Williams have warmed many a cold night in the intimate Engineered Air Theatre. The PCL Blues series is currently on hiatus.
